It had everything it needed to be a good continuation of the story of the horsemen, a kind of last dance or something similar, but no, they add bland characters with zero charisma who only contribute boredom. The villain is evil, that's it, she's evil because she's evil, but she has no motivation to be evil, she's evil because the story needs a villain. The fact that the original horsemen are EXACTLY THE SAME as they were ten years ago adds nothing to the story. Haven't they changed a bit in ten years? Haven't they evolved? It seems as if they've been frozen until they were needed.
Ruben Fleischer is very disappointing, with camera angles that are difficult to understand (they can even make you dizzy). In group conversations, you don't really know what's going on because there are a thousand camera cuts... he wants to give the conversations a dynamism that they shouldn't have because it makes them confusing.
The tricks are simple, predictable, and very short. They abandon everything that characterized the franchise and made it unique to add three horsemen and try to have them take over from the originals.

A beautiful story about how the passage of time heals even the greatest tragedies.
It may be the most beautiful film of the year, teaching us how we are both privileged and cursed to feel, to love, and to care. What is our joy and the meaning of our lives today may disappear tomorrow, without us being able to do anything to prevent it or for any apparent reason; it simply goes away. But, as they say in the film, "even if we cut down all the trees in the world today, they will grow back tomorrow."

Beautiful, tragic, intellectual, terrifying, and pedantic.
Guillermo del Toro gives us a modern adaptation centered on "what makes us human?" with profound, extremely interesting, and philosophical dialogue that at times gets lost in the director's unusual pedantry. Artistically and cinematographically, there is nothing to complain about; it is beautiful in its decadence, moving in its pain, and philosophical in its dialogue.
